This is because Berkeley DB used to be famously bad at back/forward compatible of ABI or API. (it at least used to be the canonical example of sucking at it).
It doesn't seem wise to ship just one 'bdb' unless someone can say for certain that they got better, otherwise it's just asking for trouble (or at least forced rebuilds of every piece of software linking to it). -- Rich _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
